Chapter 295: Game bug? No, it's giving you a little hope! (Requesting monthly ticket)
Upon hearing the choice of these three Fifth Test Players, all the Veteran Players' expressions shifted slightly. They displayed mixed emotions, but most were filled with admiration.
Why?
Currently, Antarctic held the most Contribution Points in the entire game, having earned nearly five million points alone with the Nine Immortals Spirit Disc. With such a massive amount of Contribution Points being thrown down, even Old Mo would have to concede. The Eight Gates Escape Armor was indeed strong, but in front of a capitalist like this, it seemed merely average. Not only did Antarctic know the Eight Gates Escape Armor, but he could elevate it to an unimaginable level if he wished. Linjiang Immortal, Fat Butterfly, and Big Orange is Set had just come up and challenged Antarctic—weren't they seeking death? Did they really think that after Antarctic became a Life Player, he would be an easy target anyone could squeeze?
"Damn, these three brothers have guts. I like it."
"Directly challenging a Boss right from the start—they've accomplished something even I wouldn't dare."
"But I'm surprised. Why did they still choose the Human Race now that Race Gameplay has been opened up? Clearly, picking other races would be more promising."
"It's hard to say. The Human Race might actually be the mainstream. No matter how the game version updates, the Human Race will always hold the greatest potential."
...
The Veteran Players admired these three Newbie Players; their choice was indeed unexpected. New Players could pick many Veteran Players as their opponents, as there were quite a few easy targets among them. But Antarctic was no easy target. He was currently the biggest, juiciest prize among all the Players! At that moment, everyone's gaze fell upon Antarctic. They were all eager to see him demonstrate his financial power.
Xu Nian turned to look at Antarctic and said, "Antarctic, you have been chosen. Defeating these three is your Task!"
Hearing this, Antarctic put down the storybook he was holding and shook his head with a smile. "I'm not interested. Consider it my forfeit. We have to give Newcomers a chance."
Upon hearing this, Linjiang Immortal, Fat Butterfly, and Big Orange is Set were extremely excited. They had bet correctly! Yes, they were gambling. They were gambling that Antarctic wouldn't choose to fight. Fat Butterfly, in particular, seemed to understand Antarctic's mindset, guessing that someone at Antarctic's level would no longer care about such meager Rewards. So, after Fat Butterfly shared his thoughts, he decided to join forces with Linjiang Immortal and Big Orange is Set to take on the challenge. If they lost, they would simply accept their bad luck. But what if they bet correctly? They would have made a huge profit!
Hearing Antarctic directly choose to forfeit, Fat Butterfly clenched his fists excitedly. He had been following this game for a long time but had been unlucky and never secured a spot in the Internal Testing. In his view, Contribution Points were the most crucial aspect of the game, whether for improving one's Realm, enhancing Cultivation Techniques, or even purchasing new ones. Thus, Newbie Players' most pressing need in the early stages was a large quantity of Contribution Points. Whether it was one hundred or One Thousand Contribution Points, these were indispensable and valuable resources, especially since the current game version was filled with unknowns. The uncertainty of this version only underscored the importance of Contribution Points. Therefore, Fat Butterfly had decided to gamble big.
"What's going on? Why would Antarctic Lord just forfeit? Does he know those three?"
"Not sure, but judging by Antarctic Lord's reaction, it seems he doesn't care about such Rewards."
"I understand Antarctic Lord's thinking. He doesn't care about these Rewards at all. For him, as long as the Nine Immortals Spirit Disc exists, he can just kick back and keep earning Contribution Points."
"Is this the capitalist mentality? Then, should we also choose to challenge him?"
...
Suddenly, the eyes of the Fifth Test Players lit up with realization. If they all chose to challenge Antarctic, wouldn't that mean they could easily score a big chunk of Contribution Points? At that moment, Antarctic was no longer a big Boss, but a true wealth dispenser! As long as they all chose Antarctic, and if he continued to forfeit, wouldn't they just be freeloading?
This was something Xu Nian hadn't anticipated. After all, Contribution Points were important to all Players, but Antarctic, that fellow, simply didn't need this small amount. This is making things quite difficult, Xu Nian mused. If all Fifth Test Players challenged Antarctic, and he forfeited every time, wouldn't they all end up with a heap of Contribution Points? Hmm... That wouldn't be without its benefits.
The world is full of unknowns. Once the Newbie Player trial ends, an exploration Task can be immediately issued to get a clear understanding of this Mountain Range first. There will certainly be dangers, and many Players will likely die. This way, wouldn't it help offset the imbalance caused by these free points?
"Alright, Antarctic has chosen to forfeit. Linjiang Immortal, Fat Butterfly, and Big Orange is Set are now officially Disciples of the Profound Yellow Sect."
Xu Nian slowly announced, "Considering they won within a quarter of an hour, each person receives One Thousand Contribution Points as a Reward."
Following his words, Linjiang Immortal, Fat Butterfly, and Big Orange is Set also received the System's reward of One Thousand Contribution Points.
This really made the Veteran Players drool. So many of them didn't even have One Thousand Contribution Points yet! Have the Fifth Test Players discovered a game bug?
"Bro, pick me, pick me! I'm so broke I'm resorting to being a test subject for experiments. You Fifth Test bros have to choose me!"
"Please, little brothers, take pity on your sister here! I only have three hundred Contribution Points left. You must choose me, and afterward, I promise I'll take good care of any of you who pick me."
